Welcome Harvard Squash Class of 2023

While Harvard Squash lost some talent after the Class of 2019 graduated, members of the Class of 2023 have the aptitude, drive and integrity to ensure our teams can continue the success we had last season.

(written by Hannah Craig ’21, Eleonore Evans ’20, Liam Waterous ’21 and Fin Ong ’21)

The men’s team has added first-years, Ayush Menon and Liam Rotzoll, to the team. In addition, Channy Hong ’21 has joined the squad this year. We know that their hard work and enthusiasm will help immensely this coming season.

The women’s team welcomes Brittany Sun, Charlotte Orcutt, Evie Coxon and Harbour Woodward. While they haven’t been on the roster long, these four new players  make up what is sure to be an impactful class.

Members of the incoming class had impressive junior careers and we are very excited to see how they transition to the higher level of intercollegiate play. We are also looking forward to seeing them develop as Harvard student-athletes both on and off the court.
